The CRAZIEST BROADCAST DECISION in NBC AFL HISTORY
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 03. 2023
- During week 7 of the 1968 AFL season, instead of airing the New York Jets/Houston Oilers game nationally as originally intended, NBC decided to change its mind and show the Kansas City Chiefs/Oakland Raiders game instead. Safe to say, they made a big mistake by doing this

NBC forgot that it had Jets/Oilers as its primary game that week's late regional window for a reason. I can't believe it got shook over one bad game from Joe Namath. What a huge overreaction by NBC.
NBC did NOT have a decade long relationship with the American Football League.
NBC only began televising the AFL in 1965.
ABC carried the AFL from 1960 through 1964.
Didn’t know that was the case.
Doesn’t surprise me that ABC would have aired the first half of the league, they were known for trying things that NBC and CBS thought were too risky (not that football is risky, but the AFL was a startup league in 1960 let’s face it).
@@fortynights1513 Exactly. Keep in mind, ABC only started around 1952(correct me if I am wrong Guys) as a nationwide station. CBS and NBC(both having powerful radio networks since the 1930's) was already well established when the TV era in America began around 1948. ABC until the early 1970's was the 3rd place laughing stock network. Even Dumont which went off the air for good in 1955 was more respected. So it made sense that the AFL started in 1960 on ABC.
Then when the AFL started to get the best college football prospects in America around 1965 led by “Broadway Joe” NBC which had lost the NFL TV contract to CBS took over the AFL from ABC. So great point.
@@americangiant1003 1943/48, actually (43 for radio, 48 for television).
in 1951, iirc, fcc said only 3 television licenses per area allowed (vhf, which goes out about 50 miles) with everyone else being uhf (about 20 miles out, and even then, only at night).
nbc and cbs had the headstart as you said, so they got them in every market, with dumont and abc battling for the 3rd one.
abc did end up winning out, dumont died, but they were still number 3, so as you said, them taking the risk on the afl made sense.
same with them taking monday night football in the early 70's, since again, firm number 3 at that point, nothing to lose.
@@mfm4205 Thanks for confirming.
The AFL didn't even exist until 1960, so no one had a decade-long relationship in 1968, unless it took two years to establish the league and ABC was in on it from the very beginning.
Jim Simpson was a great announcer. He was # 2 behind Curt Gowdy which he was also great. If this happened 11 years later, it would have been like Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen would have called the Jets/Oilers with 20% of the audience and Don Criqui and John Brodie which were the #2 team for NBC football in 1979 calling the Raiders/Chiefs game going to most of the nation.
I presume that those watching the Jets/Houston game at 6:59 P.M. Eastern time, with Joe Namath leading the Jets down the field for what would be a game-winning touchdown, saw a commercial break.
Then after the commercial, at 7 P.M. Eastern time, they saw "The New Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn". 😆
(Seriously, I don't think the game went past 7. I wrote this comment in an attempt to be humorous and write a joke)
"If you spike the ball into the ground on every play, you can learn about that by clicking the card in the upper right corner"
Man, these networks need to get it together before they kill the sport.😊
And we're still saying this in 2023... 😉
I thought Jim Simpson was the number two play-by-play man for NBC's AFL coverage in 1968, and called Super Bowls I, III, and V on NBC Radio while Curt Gowdy did so on NBC-TV.
I’m guessing Charlie Jones was #2.
What were the ratings?
@@CTubeMan Probably right. Maybe in this '68 AFL season, Charlie was the #2 PBP announcer to Gowdy. However by 1970, it was Simpson.
Were the 1968 Jets involved in any other significant upsets besides the one against the Broncos? I can't remember.
We need a video on Max McGee in Super Bowl 1!
It's weird that the AFL acutally had bye weeks back then. Looking at some of the teams schedule for 1968, some teams "bye" week was actually week 1
'you tick out like a tore tumb' leo getz things done.
The AFL had bye weeks in each of its first 9 seasons. Only in 1969 did no teams have open weeks.
@@johnmanier7968 I didn't know that, pretty interesting
Sometimes you gamble and win... other times...
Thanks for another interesting episode and topic. Hopefully NBC will get its act together before long...
Thanks you for sharing this video
Fun Fact, these four teams would be the four AFL playoff teams the next season.
This is almost as bad as when CBS decided in 1996 instead of showing a live NASCAR Cup Series race from Talladega (the DieHard 500) that featured legendary drivers such as Jeff Gordon & Dale Earnhardt decided to show a Senior PGA Tour (now Champions Tour) event instead in the 12:30 PM ET window on a Sunday afternoon in late July & relegate NASCAR to a tape delay & condensed broadcast 2 hours later. CBS's reasoning behind the move was that they wanted to give a spotlight to the Senior PGA Tour & there were also some at CBS Sports that were tired of showing NASCAR races during summer weekends when there were no PGA Tour events. This despite the fact that at the time, NASCAR was one of CBS's biggest properties right up there with College Basketball & the PGA Tour (this was during the Dark Ages for CBS as they had no NFL rights & had only recently gotten back into College Football). CBS made a big mistake by doing this because the Senior PGA Tour event got absolutely terrible ratings & the CBS phone lines were flooded with calls from angry NASCAR fans wondering why the race was pushed to a tape delay broadcast 2 hours later. For those wondering about the race, it was won by Jeff Gordon but is more well known for the violent accident Dale Earnhardt got into on lap 117 where he broke his collarbone as a result.
I remember in 1997 CBS had the Texas NASCAR race on the same week as The Masters, so when the race was delayed by rain till late in the day, CBS switched to golf, while TNN (which was owned then by CBS) aired the race which started at 4pm. The race drew one of the biggest cable audiences ever for TNN, while The Masters drew a pretty audience too (Tiger's first Masters win).
Side question: Where do you find the betting info on games this old?
As a Broncos fan beating the Jets was probably the only bright spot from the Broncos inception until they made it to super bowl12
One of these two games should have been at 1:30 ET. The Oilers and Chiefs usually played late games on NBC, but as you noted, both 1:30 games this day were duds-and that was entirely predictable well before the season started.
You speculated about Andrew Catalon calling a “National” game for CBS. In one of the Thursday Night snoozers last year Al Michaels likened calling the game to calling CBS’s fifth most important game. Catalon usually calls those games, so he tweeted out the meme with Robert Redford giving a knowing smile and nod.
Happy 3-28!
I can't fault NBC here. The Chiefs and Raiders were both 1 loss teams facing either. Furthermore, Chiefs-Raiders is a huge rivalry. Sometimes, the luck just doesn't go your way. This is like doubling down on an 11 when the dealer has a 4 up card and drawing a 2 and having the dealer not bust.
What is with NBC having brain farts over their pro football broadcasts? 🤦♂️
I'd have chosen Oakland vs KC as well
6:58
Why are you pocket watching all the time? Like what does the amount of money he has have to do with his actions?hell you had 66 mil and got a DUI, money doesn’t necessarily dictate your actions sir
People who complain about what game aired on TV are people with no sense of real priorities in life. It's a game....most of them fixed in Vegas. That's all it is nothing more and a whole lot less.
